You sure about that? I thought it had to be supported by your TV service provider, and DirecTV didn't support it yet. At least that is how it works with the WatchESPN website. If you tell them you have DirecTV it says "DIRECTV currently does not offer WatchESPN. Fill out the fields below to tell them you want access."

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

Are these networks viewed through that particular channel's website/app? Or like D* can you watch it via the TV provider app/website?

It is a mix, the Pac 12 streaming you can only access via the Xfinity website, they are not currently set up for streaming via the Pac 12 app on the iPad. The watch ESPN app lets you use all the ESPN channels offered (if you're a comcast internet sub you can add lifeline cable and watch everything but Goal line/buzzer beater). I have used both the Pac 12 and ESPN apps with various internet providers with good success.
